Knowing that our district is paying big bucks for this is disappointing...it does not correct spelling erros and the Dictionary and Encyclopedia are decidedly American in their leanings. I used the word colour and it said ' There is no exact match to colour.' It gave a list of closely spelled words of which color was one...This I discovered is because the Dictionary is 'The American Heritage Children's Dictionary' and the encyclopedia is Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia. If I were in America I would favour(not favor) this data base more, but I'm not and I don't!

Viktor Frankl was more than an Austrian born Holocaust survivor—he was a natural born philosopher equipped to both experience an event, and to stand outside of it, pulling meaning from within.

Logotherapy, which is a sort of existentialist analysis, places the driving force of all human nature in finding meaning and purpose in life. Logotherapy concludes that:

  • Life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones.
  • Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.
  • We have freedom to find meaning in what we do, and what we experience, or at least in the stand we take when faced with a situation of unchangeable suffering.

I was required to read this for a philosophy 102 course, and did not expect to enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Frankl does an excellent job of weaving his philosophical points seamlessly into the story he tells, and the result is poignant and thought-provoking. I sold my copy back to my school bookstore at the end of the semester, and have been regretting it ever since. ( )

This story touched me more than any other Holocaust story I have read to date. No doubt this was in part due to the authors ability to stand outside the situation and observe and later relate his thoughts and emotions from the 3rd person. ( )

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com (ISBN 0671023373, Mass Market Paperback)

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl is among the most influential works of psychiatric literature since Freud. The book begins with a lengthy, austere, and deeply moving personal essay about Frankl's imprisonment in Auschwitz and other concentration camps for five years, and his struggle during this time to find reasons to live. The second part of the book, called "Logotherapy in a Nutshell," describes the psychotherapeutic method that Frankl pioneered as a result of his experiences in the concentration camps. Freud believed that sexual instincts and urges were the driving force of humanity's life; Frankl, by contrast, believes that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. Frankl's logotherapy, therefore, is much more compatible with Western religions than Freudian psychotherapy. This is a fascinating, sophisticated, and very human book. At times, Frankl's personal and professional discourses merge into a style of tremendous power. "Our generation is realistic, for we have come to know man as he really is," Frankl writes. "After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips."
